Mrs. Grace Lohman died at the home of her daughter, Mrs. Charles Hosmer, Saturday night. She had been an invalid for eleven years and her condition seemed somewhat improved until a week ago when she was taken with intestinal flu, hastening her death. Mrs. Lohman was 93 years of age and was born in Germany, coming to America in her girlhood. She was a woman of a sweet and sunny disposition. Although confined to her bed all those years she was patient and always looked on bright side of life and enjoyed the friendship and esteem of a large number of friends. Mrs. Lohman was the mother of ten children, four of whom survive:
Phillip Lohman of Cortland, N. Y.;
William and Miss Deliah Lohman of Buffalo, N. Y.; and
Mrs. Charles Hosmer of Coudersport.
Services were held at the home Wednesday morning, Rev. John Axe, pastor of the Lutheran Church officiating and. burial was made at Lindlay, N. Y., her former home.

The Michelfelder clothing store at Harrison Valley was entered by yeggmen Tuesday night of last week and clothing, foot wear and other merchandise stolen valued at about $175 as nearly as the proprietor can estimate.
A store at Elmer owned by Mrs. H. G. Miller was also burglarized the same night and some merchandise stolen. Officers have been making an investigation but up to this morning no arrests have been made. There is altogether too much lawlessness in Potter County and it is sincerely hoped these thieves may be captured and put away for a good long period.

FOUR YOUNG MEN GIVEN HEARING
Story of Cruelty Hard to Even Believe in This Day of Supposed Civilization.
At a hearing held before Justice of the Peace F. D. Owlett, of Knoxville, Tuesday, four young men, Arnold and Nelson Horler, John Mack and Joseph (Gill) were charged with grevious assault, the information leading to the arrest being furnished by Gladys, wife| of Lewis McFall.
The complainant told a story that for crude and senseless cruelty on the | part of its alleged perpetrators is not often encountered. According to her story on the evening of April 4th she and her husband were attending a party at the home of Charles Houghtaling and the four men named in the warrant became threatening to her husband. Fearing bodily harm Mr. and Mrs. McFall left for home when according to their stories given before Justice Owlett, the four followed them with evident intention of doing them injury. The McFalls, in wild terror, sought refuge in a silo, which became locked. In this uncomfortable retreat the two remained, it was said, from about ten o'clock until five the next morning when they were released by owner of the silo.
During the night, the McFalls claimed their assailants at intervals bombarded the silo with stones, precluding any , desire or opportunity for them to get away.
A further and serious aspect of the case is provided by the fact that Mrs. McFall was in a delicate condition, at the time of the incident, and a short time after release gave premature birth to a child which died and Mrs. McFall was taken to the Blossburg Hospital where she remained for two weeks a very sick woman, threatened with pneumonia. She was able to go home a day or two ago.
The four defendants pleaded not guilty to the charges made and denied participation in the attack alleged to have been made. All four were admitted to bail in the amount of $1000 each, Gill and Mack being released on their own recognizance. Jacob Horler furnished bail for the release of the two Horler boys.
